24v powMr is 37 to 105v not 80v.
The 80v is for 12v system.

My personal advice is to do straight 3s. That is me oo after which I will now try out 2s 2p. PowMr will convert the rest voltage to useful amp.
Thanks for your input.. I just checked and it's 100v

I always thought my nominal voltage was 120. Just confirmed its 240v.
What's the max watts u av seen go into ur battery at this output?

Are you using new panels now?
Norminal voltage of Inverter does not affect your charging rates.
Panel Orientation, charging voltage, and Panel efficiency does..

someone using 4 units of 550w panels got 2KW.. even when nominal says 240V

someone using 4 units of 410w panel 1.64KW panels got 1.47KW at 111V even when nominal says 240V

7.5 kva felicity inverter
2 tubular batteries 220amp luminous
SMS charge controller .60amp
Surge protector
And after sales service for me .
Pls solar gurus in the house .
What’s your advise , I feel like it is too expensive, pls advise me .
This is my load currently .
65inches smart tv lg

FOR SALE

1. This 12v pure sine wave inverter has the capacity to power 4 freezers @ the same time.

Capacity: 6000w Surge capacity and 2750w Actual capacity

Dc to Ac conversion efficiency : 90 - 95%
Idle consumption : 0.3 amp

It is a Non-grid tied Inverter. It powers Inductive and non-inductive loads seamlessly.

In the test video below, I used it to power all these appliances @ the same time:

πŸ‘‰ One normal freezer
πŸ‘‰ 1hp pumping machine
πŸ‘‰charge spare battery
πŸ‘‰ one 32inch TV with Decoder
πŸ‘‰ 2 medium sized fans
πŸ‘‰1 big ox fan

Then I switched off only the pumping machine to plug in the 1200w pressing iron


I have just one left, If you are interested in buying it, call or WhatsApp 08035537864

2. 12v 30A Smart Battery charger with digital display

It can be used to charge any type of Battery and it does not overcharge batteries, it is a smart battery charger, it adjusts itself to the amount of charge battery needs and stops charging once battery is full.

Uploaded below is the Smart charger picture.
Call or WhatsApp 08035537864 if you need it.

Please, can I use 4 units of 475w jinko panel with 60A Powmr?

My worry is that the max pv voltage for 24v is 80v(Powmr) and the Voc for the panel is 42.5v

Since I installed both panels the inverter have never pulled more than 12A from the panels. The highest I've seen from the CC (MPPT 2) with the Jinkos is 12.5A and about 10A+ from MPPT 2 with the Longi panels, so it's not the current but voltage.

I'll open the inverter and check the connection inside.


We're waiting for the revelation, or probably you have a different DEYE variant ?

Yeah i understand you. Just needing reassurance that adding new panels would increase my charging current rather than just buying an external CC to use with my existing panels for better charging

That's a terrible quote.

Your load isn't that much, I have similar load that I run off a 3.3KVA SRNE inverter.

As long as you don't plan on running your AC, washing machine, and all other electronics simultaneously, I don't see why you'd need anything over the 3.5KVA range.

AC+washing machine is around 1600w. Every other load you listed is about 700w at most.

Unless you also want to future proof.

Personally, I'd go with

- 3-4KVA 24v hybrid inverter (400k) or 5KVA 48v hybrid (~550k)
- 5*580w Jinko panels (860k)
- Valto's 24v 7.6kwh battery at 1.55m or his 8.8kwh 48v battery at 1.7m

24v system will be cheaper. You do lose out slightly on efficiency compared to 48v, plus more cable costs. I'd say around 3.1m should get you a capable 24v system.


Please how do check ur daily pv generation or accumulated solar panel harvest on ur 3.3kw SRNE inverter?

You can't AFAIK.

Maybe if you have the Wifi dongle and app, but there's no information like that on the inverter itself. No references on the manual either.

I know that amount won't be sufficient, as even the 3,150,000 he calculated should be 3,185,000.

DC Wire = 60k - 80k
AC Wire = 10k - 15k
AC MCBs = 15k
Dc MCB = 10k
AC SPDs = 20k - 30k
DC SPD = 10k - 15k
Installation Cost (70k - 150k) depending on installer

250k - 315k should be budgeted for installation and accessories and @Zeestone99 sells everything mentioned above.

Too small, unless he's ready to pay twice within the shortest possible time or maybe distance between pv and cc/hybrid inverter is 3 - 5meter max and he probably won't be buying any ac cables.

Techland's canadian 665 watts = 182875 a piece

27 pieces = 182875 x 27 = #4,937,625

Let's assume way billing is #200,000

Crating is #4,480 per 2 panels so for 27 panels there are approximately 14 pairs

4,480 x 14 = #62,720

Total cost for the 27 Canadian panels from Techland = #4,937,625 + #200,000 + #62,720 = #5,200,345

625w Jinko panel from fouani is #184,800

This means I'm buying 1 Jinko watt at 184800/625 = #295.68kobo

But for the Canadian panels the total watts I got is 665w x 27pieces = 17955 watts and you recall I spent #5,200,345 total to get them

This means I'm getting 1 Canadian watt at
5200345/17955 = #289.63kobo

Canadian panels is saving me #295.68 - #289.63 = #6.05 per watt

If I must get the exact same wattage from fouani's Jinko I'll be spending #295.68 per watt x 17955watts = #5,308,934.40

But I got same watts at Canadian for #5,200,345 which means Canada saved me #5,308,934.40 - #5,200,345 = #108,589.40 despite the additional crating and shipping fees.

So you see... Even with fouani's free shipping, Canada still stands tall

Nothing is actually free even in Freetown cry







This is a good analyze and I commend you for taking your time out…

You have done your research already and want people to confuse you.
I have worked with all these brands, they provide AC to your load, 1 to 3 are practically the same thing, 4 is a semi-pro with added features you may or may not need.
The Summary is you will get what you paid for!

Just go with what fits your Budget and what your heart chooses!

i have never successfully used it to control dstv decoders fully...have you tried?

No. I use it for Startimes. And it works fine especially for all the major buttons/functions.

NB: I retired my DSTV decoder years ago and adopted Startimes cos of the shenanigans of the former, plus I'm not a football guy, so I don't think I'm missing much. I also have similar aversion to using MTN 😁, though thankfully other alternative networks are good on location.

If you can control the remote itself with HA or Node Red, then it does not need to have a timer na

With Tuya smart life app, the timer can work for instance on "turn off" or "turn on" times. Also for dusk (sunrise) or dawn (sundown) but this dusk - dawn option is only available on select smart plugs, not all smart plugs.

As for the Tuya Infra Red remote, it doesn't have those timer options available on its app UI.

I don't know much about node red sha.

This is exactly the reason behind the name. Neophytes that don't know about the various battery chemistry will hear that lithium battery is good and lasts much longer than LA, then rush to go buy "Lithium battery". And true true, na "Lithium battery" he buy, so why should it not last long.

There are many ways to increase sales of a product, but this here is one bad way to make sales - tricking ignorant buyers.
